[0020] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to an embodiment.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a necklace-type terminal 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server. In the present embodiment, the data processing device 12 is an example of the "data processing device" according to the technology of the present disclosure, and the necklace-type terminal 14 is an example of the "necklace-type terminal" according to the technology of the present disclosure.

[0022] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" related to the technology of this disclosure. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0023] The necklace-type terminal 14 includes a computer 36, a microphone 38, a sensor 39, a speaker 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 38, speaker 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0024] The user 20 wearing the necklace-type terminal 14 may be, for example, a patient whose health condition is being diagnosed, or a regular user.

[0025] The microphone 38 picks up the voice emitted by the user 20, who is wearing the necklace-type terminal 14, as well as sounds around the user 20. The microphone 38 also receives instructions from the user 20 by receiving the voice emitted by the user 20. The microphone 38 captures the voice emitted by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 40 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40 is, for example, a directional speaker and outputs audio towards the user 20's ears.

[0026] Sensor 39 is a sensor that detects biometric data of the user 20, who is wearing the necklace-type terminal. For example, sensor 39 may be a heart rate sensor or a blood oxygen sensor.

[0027] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the area around the user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the width of a typical healthy person's field of vision).

[0028] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0029] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, specific processing is performed by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores a specific processing program 56. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0031] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 is used by the specific processing unit 290. The storage 32 also includes a data storage unit 54.

[0032] In the necklace-type terminal 14, data acquisition processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores the data acquisition program 60. The processor 46 reads the data acquisition program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read data acquisition program 60 on the RAM 48. The data acquisition processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the data acquisition program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0033] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the necklace-type terminal 14 includes multiple microphones 38, multiple sensors 39, multiple speakers 40, and multiple cameras 42. Figures 3 and 4 show an example where two microphones 38 are positioned in front of the user 20 when the user 20 wears the necklace-type terminal 14. They also show an example where two sensors 39 are positioned to the right and left of the user 20 when the user 20 wears the necklace-type terminal 14. They also show an example where two speakers 40 are positioned to the right rear and left rear of the user 20 when the user 20 wears the necklace-type terminal 14. They also show an example where two cameras 42 are positioned to the right front and left front of the user 20 when the user 20 wears the necklace-type terminal 14. Finally, they show an example where two sensors 39 are positioned inside the necklace-type terminal 14 so as to contact the user 20's neck when the user 20 wears the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0034] Next, we will explain the processing of the control unit 46A when the necklace-type terminal 14 performs data collection processing to collect data.

[0035] In this embodiment, the data collection process collects the user's biometric data in real time. Furthermore, it collects not only biometric data but also all surrounding environment data. This makes it possible to detect early signs of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It also allows for monitoring of the user's health status (e.g., heart disease).

[0036] As shown in Figure 5, the control unit 46A includes a data acquisition unit 100 and a communication unit 102.

[0037] The data acquisition unit 100 collects the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42, respectively.

[0038] The communication unit 102 transmits the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42, which are collected by the data acquisition unit 100, to the data processing unit 12.

[0039] Next, we will describe the processing of the specific processing unit 290 when the data processing device 12 performs specific processing to obtain a response corresponding to a user utterance.

[0040] In the specific processing in this embodiment, a response corresponding to the user utterance picked up by the microphone 38 of the necklace-type terminal 14 is obtained using the data generation model 58.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6, the specific processing unit 290 includes an input unit 292, a processing unit 294, and an output unit 296.

[0042] The input unit 292 stores the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42, respectively, received from the necklace-type terminal 14, in the data storage unit 54.

[0043] The input unit 292 acquires user utterances received by the necklace-type terminal 14. Specifically, it acquires user utterances picked up by the microphone 38 of the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0044] The processing unit 294 performs specific processing using the data generation model 58. Specifically, it inputs a prompt including user utterances to the data generation model 58 and obtains a generation result. At this time, the outputs of the sensor 39 and camera 42 collected by the data acquisition unit 100 may also be included in the prompt.

[0045] The output unit 296 transmits the result of the specific processing to the necklace-type terminal 14. In the necklace-type terminal 14, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 40 to output the result of the specific processing. In this way, a response corresponding to the user utterance picked up by the microphone 38 is output to the user 20 by the speaker 40. The microphone 38 further acquires the user utterance in response to the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating the user utterance acquired by the microphone 38 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the user utterance.

[0046] Data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include those described above. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions shown by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0047] The outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42 stored in the data storage unit 54 are used, for example, to diagnose the health status of user 20. In this case, the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42 stored in the data storage unit 54 may be transmitted to a terminal on the medical institution's side. Alternatively, the data processing device 12 may analyze the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42 stored in the data storage unit 54 to diagnose the health status of user 20.

[0048] Next, the operation of the data processing system 10 will be explained.

[0049] First, let's explain an example of the data collection process flow.

[0050] When user 20 is wearing the necklace-type terminal 14, the data acquisition unit 100 sequentially collects the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42. The communication unit 102 sequentially transmits the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42 collected by the data acquisition unit 100 to the data processing unit 12.

[0051] Next, an example of the flow of a specific process will be explained with reference to Figure 7. Here, the input unit 292 of the data processing device 12 sequentially acquires the outputs of the microphone 38, sensor 39, and camera 42 received from the necklace-type terminal 14 and stores them in the data storage unit 54.

[0052] In step S300, the processing unit 294 determines whether a predetermined trigger condition is met. Specifically, the trigger condition may be that the user utterance picked up by the microphone 38 contains a specific word (for example, the name of the agent installed in the necklace-type terminal 14) or a phrase (for example, "Hi! XX" (where XX is the name of the agent)).

[0053] If the trigger condition is met in step S300 (step S300; Yes), the data processing system 10 proceeds to step S301. On the other hand, if the trigger condition is not met in step S300 (step S300; No), the data processing system 10 terminates the specific processing.

[0054] In step S301, the processing unit 294 generates a prompt by adding an instruction to obtain the result of a specific process to the text representing the user utterance picked up by the microphone 38.

[0055] For example, a prompt such as "The user is speaking as follows: XXX. Please respond as the agent." (XXX is the user's speech) can be generated. Alternatively, the outputs of sensor 39 and camera 42 can be added to the prompt to generate a prompt such as "This is biometric data representing the user's heart rate and video data representing the user's surroundings. The user is also speaking as follows: XXX. Please respond as the agent." (XXX is the user's speech)

[0056] In step S303, the processing unit 294 inputs the generated prompt to the data generation model 58 and obtains the result of a specific process based on the output of the data generation model 58.

[0057] In step S304, the output unit 296 outputs the result of the specific processing to the necklace-type terminal 14 and terminates the specific processing.

[0058] [Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described, omitting or simplifying any parts that overlap with the above embodiment. The second embodiment is characterized in that the data processing system 10 activates a cleaning function based on environmental data representing the living environment around the wearer of the necklace-type terminal 14. In the second embodiment, a case in which an air purifier 70 is activated based on environmental data detected indoors will be described. The environmental data includes, for example, air quality data indicating the state of the air in the room, cleanliness data indicating the state of dirt (e.g., garbage, dust, etc.) accumulated on the floor, etc., and soiling data indicating the state of dirt adhering to windows, etc. The cleaning function may be any cleaning device or cleaning function that can be performed automatically, such as a robotic vacuum cleaner, an automatic window cleaning robot, a ventilation system, or an automatic toilet cleaning function.

[0059] (Overall structure) The data processing system 10 of the second embodiment includes an air purifier 70 as a cleaning function. As shown in Figure 8, the air purifier 70 is a so-called IoT (Internet of Things) device equipped with communication functions, and the necklace-type terminal 14 connects to the air purifier 70 via a communication I / F 44. The necklace-type terminal 14 may connect to the air purifier 70 directly using short-range wireless communication or infrared communication, or it may connect via a network 54. The air purifier 70 operates by receiving instructions transmitted from the necklace-type terminal 14. In this embodiment, only one data processing device 12, one necklace-type terminal 14, and one air purifier 70 are shown, but there may be multiple instances of each.

[0060] (Hardware) The sensor 39 (see Figure 1) provided in the necklace-type terminal 14 of the second embodiment is one or more sensors for detecting environmental data representing the living environment. The sensor 39 in this embodiment is, for example, an air quality sensor, a light sensor, and a fine dust detection sensor. The necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment measures the concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere using the sensor 39. The sensor 39 in this embodiment is positioned on the outside of the necklace-type terminal 14 so that it can detect air quality data around the wearer when the necklace-type terminal 14 is worn. The position of the sensor 39 may be changed as appropriate depending on the type of data to be detected.

[0061] (function) Figure 9 schematically shows the functional configuration of the control unit 46A of the necklace-type terminal 14 according to the second embodiment. The control unit 46A of the second embodiment includes a data acquisition unit 100, a communication unit 102, and an operating unit 104.

[0062] The data acquisition unit 100 of the second embodiment has the function of collecting environmental data from the wearer of the necklace-type terminal 14. Specifically, the data acquisition unit 100 collects environmental data measured by the sensor 39 of the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0063] The communication unit 102 of the second embodiment has a function to communicate with the cleaning function in the vicinity of the wearer. For example, the communication unit 102 communicates with an air purifier 70 located near the wearer and transmits instructions to the air purifier 70. The vicinity of the wearer may be, for example, a predetermined range from the wearer's location (for example, within 10m horizontally) or the room in which the wearer is located.

[0064] Furthermore, the communication unit 102 has the function of communicating with the data processing unit 12. Specifically, the communication unit 102 transmits the environmental data collected by the data collection unit 100 to the data processing unit 12. The communication unit 102 then receives instructions for the cleaning function generated by the data processing unit 12, which correspond to the transmitted environmental data.

[0065] The operating unit 104 has the function of managing the operation of the cleaning function around the wearer. Specifically, the operating unit 104 transmits instructions to the cleaning function from the data processing device 12 received by the communication unit 102 to the cleaning function around the wearer. For example, the operating unit 104 transmits an operation instruction to an air purifier 70 installed near the wearer, causing the air purifier 70 to operate.

[0066] Next, the processing of the specific processing unit 290 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 6. The specific processing unit 290 according to the second embodiment includes an input unit 292, a processing unit 294, and an output unit 296.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the input unit 292 stores the environmental data received from the necklace-type terminal 14 in the data storage unit 54. The environmental data stored in the data storage unit 54 is used, for example, to diagnose air quality, which indicates the state of the atmosphere.

[0068] The processing unit 294 of the second embodiment performs specific processing using the data generation model 58. Specifically, it inputs a prompt containing environmental data to the data generation model 58 and obtains a generation result. At this time, the wearer's behavior pattern may be included in the prompt.

[0069] In the second embodiment, the output unit 296 transmits the result of the specific processing to the necklace-type terminal 14. In the necklace-type terminal 14, the control unit 46A transmits the result of the specific processing to the air purifier 70. In this embodiment, an instruction corresponding to the environmental data detected by the sensor 39 is transmitted to the air purifier 70. Alternatively, the output unit 296 may be configured to transmit an instruction corresponding to the environmental data detected by the sensor 39 to the air purifier 70.

[0070] (process) Figure 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the processing flow of the data processing system 10 according to the second embodiment. The data processing system 10 repeatedly performs the following processing, for example, after the wearer of the necklace-type terminal 14 returns home.

[0071] In step S10 of Figure 10, the necklace-type terminal 14 detects air quality data. Specifically, the necklace-type terminal 14 detects the concentration of PM2.5 around the wearer using the sensor 39.

[0072] In step S11, the necklace-type terminal 14 collects air quality data. Specifically, the necklace-type terminal 14 collects data on the PM2.5 concentration detected in step S10.

[0073] In step S12, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits air quality data. Specifically, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits the PM2.5 concentration data collected in step S11 to the data processing device 12.

[0074] In step S13, the data processing device 12 performs a specific process described later. The data processing device 12 generates an operation instruction for the air purifier 70 through this specific process.

[0075] In step S14, the data processing device 12 transmits an operation instruction to the air purifier 70. Specifically, the data processing device 12 transmits the operation instruction to the air purifier 70 generated in step S13 to the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0076] In step S15, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits an operation instruction to the air purifier 70. Specifically, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits the operation instruction for the air purifier 70 that was transmitted to the necklace-type terminal 14 in step S14 to the air purifier 70. The air purifier 70 then activates its functions based on the operation instruction transmitted from the necklace-type terminal 14.

[0077] Next, a specific processing according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the specific processing according to the second embodiment. The specific processing is, for example, the processing performed in step S13 of Figure 10.

[0078] In step S400 of Figure 11, the specific processing unit 290 determines whether a predetermined trigger condition is met. Specifically, the specific processing unit 290 determines whether the air quality data received from the necklace-type terminal 14 exceeds a predetermined threshold as the trigger condition. For example, the specific processing unit 290 determines whether the PM2.5 concentration exceeds 15 μg / m3. Alternatively, the specific processing unit 290 may determine whether a predetermined standard based on an index such as AQI (Air Quality Index) is exceeded.

[0079] In step S400, if the specific processing unit 290 determines that the predetermined trigger conditions are met (step S400: YES), it proceeds to step S401. On the other hand, if the specific processing unit 290 determines that the predetermined trigger conditions are not met (step S400: NO), it terminates the specific processing. Note that if the specific processing is terminated because it is determined that the predetermined trigger conditions are not met, no instruction is generated for the air purifier 70.

[0080] In step S401, the specific processing unit 290 generates a prompt. Specifically, the specific processing unit 290 generates a prompt by adding instructions for obtaining the result of the specific processing to the text indicating the received air quality data.

[0081] The specific processing unit 290 generates a prompt such as, "The current concentration of PM2.5 in the room is 25 μg / m3. Based on this concentration, generate a signal to send to the air purifier."

[0082] In step S403, the specific processing unit 290 obtains the result of the specific processing using the data generation model 58. Specifically, the specific processing unit 290 inputs the prompt generated in step S402 to the data generation model 58 and obtains the result of the specific processing based on the output of the data generation model 58.

[0083] The specific processing unit 290 receives signals such as, for example, "1. Set the air purifier mode to high power mode. 2. Set the fan speed to maximum. 3. Set the operating time to at least 2 hours."

[0084] In step S404, the specific processing unit 290 outputs the result of the specific processing. Specifically, the specific processing unit 290 sends the result of the specific processing obtained in step S403 to the necklace-type terminal 14 and terminates the specific processing.

[0085] (Summary of the second embodiment) The necklace-type terminal 14 of the second embodiment is equipped with a sensor 39 that detects air quality data, collects air quality data around the wearer of the necklace-type terminal 14, and activates an air purifier 70 near the wearer based on the collected air quality data. Therefore, according to the necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment, the living environment around the user can be improved based on environmental data collected from the environment around the user. Furthermore, according to the necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment, the wearer does not have to operate the air purifier 70 themselves, thereby improving convenience.

[0086] In the second embodiment, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits the collected air quality data to the data processing device 12, and operates the air purifier 70 according to the instructions received from the data processing device 12 corresponding to the transmitted air quality data. Therefore, according to the necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment, by utilizing the data processing device 12, the processing load of the necklace-type terminal 14 can be reduced and the power consumption of the necklace-type terminal 14 can be reduced.

[0087] The data processing system 10 of the second embodiment comprises a necklace-type terminal 14 and a data processing device 12. The data processing device 12 receives prompts containing air quality data from the necklace-type terminal 14 and inputs them to a data generation model 58 to obtain instructions for the air purifier 70, which are then transmitted to the necklace-type terminal 14. Therefore, according to the data processing system 10 of this embodiment, by utilizing the storage capacity and processing power of the data processing device 12, evaluations based on air quality data using the data generation model 58 can be performed quickly and accurately. Furthermore, according to the data processing system 10 of this embodiment, instructions for the air purifier 70 can be given with high accuracy using the data generation model 58.

[0088] The data processing system 10 of the second embodiment acquires instructions for the air purifier 70 when the air quality data exceeds a predetermined standard. Therefore, according to the data processing system 10 of this embodiment, the generation of instructions for the air purifier 70 is suppressed, and the air purifier 70 can be operated effectively.

[0089] [Other embodiments] In the second embodiment, the necklace-type terminal 14 measured environmental data using a sensor 39. However, it is not limited to this, and the necklace-type terminal 14 may also measure environmental data using a camera 42. For example, the necklace-type terminal 14 may detect floor cleanliness data, window soiling data, etc., from image information captured by the camera 42. Therefore, according to the necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment, it is possible to automatically clean dirt that can be detected from image information.

[0090] In the second embodiment, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmitted instructions received from the data processing device 12 to the air purifier 70. However, it is not limited to this, and the necklace-type terminal 14 may also transmit instructions it generates to the air purifier 70. For example, if the concentration of PM2.5 measured by the sensor 39 exceeds a predetermined standard, the necklace-type terminal 14 transmits a signal to the air purifier 70 near the wearer to activate it. Therefore, with the necklace-type terminal 14 of this embodiment, equipment costs and communication costs can be reduced compared to the case where it communicates with the data processing device 12.

[0091] In the second embodiment, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 input a prompt containing environmental data to the data generation model 58. However, the specific processing unit 290 is not limited to this and may input a prompt containing the wearer's behavior data to the data generation model 58. Here, the behavior data includes the wearer's current location and past behavior patterns. For example, the specific processing unit 290 generates a prompt such as, "The current indoor PM2.5 concentration is 25 μg / m3. The user usually returns home around 7 p.m. on weekdays and spends most of their time in the living room from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. Based on this concentration and schedule, please generate a signal to send to the air purifier." The specific processing unit 290 then acquires a signal such as, "1. Set the air purifier to high power mode. 2. Operate in high power mode between 7 PM and 10 PM. 3. After 10 PM, set the fan speed to medium. 4. When the PM2.5 concentration drops to 15 μg / m3 or less, reduce the fan speed, and switch to automatic mode when it falls below 10 μg / m3." Therefore, according to the data processing unit 12 of this embodiment, the air purifier 70 can be operated according to the wearer's lifestyle, further improving the wearer's convenience and comfort.

[0092] The above description primarily focuses on the functions of the data processing device 12 in relation to this disclosure.

The method related to this disclosure may be provided to users in SaaS (Software as a Service) format.

[0093] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0094] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0095] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0096] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0097] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program.

All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0098] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0099] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0100] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
